"There's no place like home"

Nordkapp. Been there. Done it. Got the tee shirt!

We sailed home on the Rotterdam ferry and arrived in Hull about 0830 this morning. Perhaps there was a slight hint of a hangover after last night on the Pride of Rotterdam but now we just had a short ride home. Four lovely ladies from Dove House met us off the ferry which was nice especially as it was early on a Sunday morning. We took a few photos and then headed home. Tim came back to mine for a cuppa and we took one last "trip" photo!

What a two weeks! We thoroughly enjoyed it. We did some great roads, met some interesting people, and of course literally went to the top of Europe. If you are thinking of doing this trip, why are you just thinking about it? It's the ultimate road trip. We'll have great memories for ever.

Tim is planning to put his bike on display in the MKS showroom for a few days complete with 6 million dead bugs so you can pop in and see what 4529 miles does to a Transalp. Our little bikes performed perfectly and was indeed the perfect bike for the trip. The tyres still seem to have quite a bit of life left too which is a surprise.

Thanks to all the many people and organisations that have contributed to our fund raising for the Love U 2 appeal. It is much appreciated. As I said on this blog some months ago, I was always going to enjoy the trip anyway but I am very grateful for the donations 100% of which will go to the appeal. The charity giving website will of course stay open for a while yet just in case......

And now I am going to settle down and watch the World Cup final. In the next few days, I intend to due a final blog entry on tips for would be Nordkappers but for now, its Tim and I signing off. Cheers.
